thanks for the comments, appreciated.
Time to tackle the sheild, complex piece, so will be semi abstract

finished the crown, inserted a 1.5 mm brass rod so as to fix it to the shield

small update, both the small guys are finished for the time being, more work will be needed when fitting them

had a go at carving one of the small guys on the figurehead, quite pleased with myself even though it looks nothing like the real thing except for the stance, the right arm rests on the figurehead crown and will be carved to fit at that stage, (if I ever get there) !

Hi everyone, been building a 1/72 scratch Victory for quite a while now. keep going off the boil and back again (is this normal) and at the mo I`m building or trying. I picked the Victory at 1/72 simply for the fact that jokita do a fine example at that scale thus giving me a wealth of top notch parts to add to my scratch, cannons, photo etch, e.t.c.
It will be made as simply as possible with no fancy interior although i am toying with the idea of full cannons on all decks but we will see

cheers all for the comments.
OK on with the build, started the second planking on the Vic had to replace one plank but apart from that all going fine, at this point decided to try in my split cannon, as you can see by the photo there is no need to up the detail on the carriage , i`ve looked from all angles and happy with it

checked out your stern shihawk and its looks fine, commercial parts are nearly always a let down but you have cleaned them up super, as for the carving you must use the correct material, I purchased some boxwood and like you had a go, took a couple of attempts to get the hang of it and although not perfect they look ok, here`s my version of the right hand strong man and the view through a macro lens shows all the errors but when looking with the naked eye he`s acceptable.

Thanks all for your kind coments, small update, finished the first planking of the hull, cut out all the gun ports inserted the linings and filled in all the gashy bits on the ports side, the quarter galley doors have had the linings inserted and left slightly proud so as to let the second planking butt up and then be sanded flush, all prep work finished on this side, started work on the starboard side but still lots of work to do ,cheers

willz got a reaction from pompey2 in 3D Printing - Not Just Yet!
personally i cant see the point of 3d printers, for me building model ships from wood is the way to go, for the price of a 3d printer you could buy a small lathe and turn out cannons, but again thats just me
